28 September 2015Customizing CO2 laser inscription of LPG sensors to enhance the sensitivity to refractive index
The manufacturing process of long period fiber gratings (LPG) is investigated in order to enhance the sensitivity of the sensors to the surrounding refractive index, considering a specific mode and wavelength range. The LPG is inscribed in a standard single-mode fiber with a CO2 laser beam. It is found that the environment refractive index sensitivity is increased mainly due to the duty cycle of the grating. Results show an increase of 89% on the resonant wavelength shift for samples with refractive index varying from 1 to 1.42.
